Superior Court-Civil side-Judge Tor


rance.
The suit of Alfred Edwards VS.. the Der
by road and the West Haven horse car rail-
road for the recovery of $4,000 damages
claimed to have been received March IL,
1886, when train smashed into horse car
in which he was riding, was resumed yester-
day. The day before Attorney Alling for
the horse car company and Professor Platt
and his associates for the Derby road, worked
together as co-defendants against Plaintiff
Edwards. This was to disapproVe his claim
of serious damages, and SO far the interests
of the co-defendants were identical. Yester-
day they parted and three-cornered legal
fight was carried on, for now the question
is who has got to pay for Mr.. Edwards in
juries, if he has suffered any, the railroad or
the horse company. Much testimony
was introduced on the point as to whether
post of duty or not at the
time of the accident The question as
to which of the defendant corporations is re-
sponsible for the accident depends largely
on this. Officer Ben Jackson, William
Meserole, messenger for Adams Express
company, F. G. Allen and ex Officer vii
liam Merwin, who were eye witnesses, swore
that they saw no gate tender there just previ-
Gus or when the accident occurred. Cassius
Kelly. jeremiah Coffee, Mrs. Eliza Leighton
and others testified, among whom were Su-
peri tendent Wallace Ward of the West Ha-
ven horse car company and Conductor D. A.
Kinner Officer Thomas Kennedy testified
to the reliability of the driver of the horse
car, who swore that t-ere no gate tend
er there.
Fireman Lowden, in charge of the engine
at the time of the accident, testified in the
afternoon that the regular engineer was at
dinner. Received the signal from baggage
master to back down train. Rang the bell
and kept ringing it till after the accident.
Professor Platt tried to show that Driver
Coffee of the horse car was incompetent.
This was ruled out.
Principal Loomis was recalled and stated
positively that there was no hagman there at
the time of the accident.
Superintendent Quintard of the Derby road
also testified.
John Br, snan is yet to testify. He is ill
and if not able to appear by Tuesday his de
position will be taken and the arguments be-
gun.

of the physician who SO successfully treated

General Lees lien.

In Longs life of Gen. Lee an interesting
story of hen is told. A few chickens
were once presented to the general. In
the lot was laying hen whose life was
sparel. The hen accompanied the army
to Gettysburg, riding in the baggage
wagon. and after that battle was with
the Confederates for nearly q year. A.
last the hen grew fat and lazy, and one
day the steward, finding his supplies
very low, and knowing that the general
expected distinguished guest at dinner,
killed the hen, and she was served up on
the altar of hospitality. Gen. Lee was
surprised to see so fine fowl set before
him, but he little dreamed that his pet
hen had been slaughtered. When the
hen was missed, however, the steward
had to confess that he had been placed
in position like unto that of the boy
who had to capture the ground hog.
There was company for dinner and no
meat. q

her.
Then, still in imminent danger, they
remained clinging to the dismantled
boat, until, as suddenly as it had fallen,
the squall lifted, and a welcome hail
from the shore proclaimed that help wa.
near at hand.
Lily came to herself at last, to find
that John was holding her fast, with her
face close to his own.
In an instant the memory of what had
passed came back to her. She did not
draw away, but raised her lustrous eyes
to his as if to read his Utmost Thoughts:
the cold cheek pressed itself closer
against his own, while her arms
wound themselves softly around his
neck.
"John--dear John !" was all she said.
And John knew that with the greatest
peril the greatest blessing of his life had

Threw Their Cards AWAY.

''There were but few soldiers in the
war;" says a veteran, "who were not
card players, and they nearly all liked
to own deck, but they had dread Of
being killed with deck on their per-
son. Whenever we heard the cannons
begin to boom, and the guns of the
picket men begin to clatter, we knew
that the battle was coming, and you
would see men by the hundred drawing
their cards from their pockets and
throwing them along the road"

girl was but young to read character,
and that Richard Blake was very hand :
some and very elegant none could deny,
a lover of whom anyone might be justly
proud.
When Lily's home was reached, and
with another graceful bow Richard had
left her, she did not 60 directly into the
house, but fingered awhile among the
flowers that Fl led their little garden.
Her thoughts were very busy. She
thought that she had behaved very
unkind to her old friend, and her
memory went back to the first time she
had met him. 1t was at picnic, and
she had fallen and sprained her ankle.
She remembered how the great fellow,
so much stronger than his mates, had
persisted in carrying her all the long
distance back to her home. Since then
he had shown In hundred ways what
she was to him, and knowing his noble
nature, perhaps her heart would have
gone out to him before this if Richard
b axe had not come back from college.
But he had. and Lily fancied his gay,
debonair manners, and his entertaining
conversation, and like many another
young girl, had begun to take for true,
heart deep love that liking which we all
have for things pleasant to the sight.
And so she shook off her reproachfu!
feelings, and went into the house.
"Why, mother, dear, what is the mat
teri Crying, and out enjoying my
self2 Tell me, what is it, dear9 Let me
share your trouble"
Mrs. Lawrence lifted . face, smiling
through her tears.
Eyes, crying, Lily darling, but not
from grief. Sit down here beside me,
and let me show you what load has
been lifted from my mind this morning.
Lily, did not tell you, but some time
ago Mr.. Burton, the lawyer, came to
me and informed me that the holder of
the mortgage on our home was in need
of money and intended to foreclose, I'M
less the mortgage was paid in full when
he should demand it. Now, child, you
know what trouble has been weighing
upon me, for knew that it would be
impossible for me to raise the sum
necessary, and that we must leave the
dear old home that we had loved so
well. And now, this very morning, Mr..
Burton came and told me that a kind
friend, hearing of the intended fore
closure, has paid the amount in full"
"Who is it that has helped you,
mother2"
That's the strangest part of it Lily.
Mr.. Burton said he had strictly prom
ised not to tell me the name of my bene-
factor, and as to who it can be l have no
idea"
But though she did not say so, Lily
had; and when later, in her usual i'm
pulslve way, she told John Hollaway
how sorry she was that she had been so
rude to him, and then asked him frankly
whether he was not the kind friend who

1t is said that gratitude is neighbor

not, it is certain that from that time the

upon the meadow gate, looking off into
the distance. He was whispering softly.
yet he seemed to be in deep reverie,
for his great, tender eyes had a PARKWAY
expression in their brown depths as he
gazed out over the sunlit meadows
where the blood-r red clover and the
golden buttercups swayed under the
soft, caressing breeze. Su ldenly an
imperious voice broke the silence:
'Mr. Holloway, please let me take
down the bars. Pm in hurry, and
came the shortest way"
The young man started; he had not
heard her approach, and there beside
him stood the very object of his
thoughts.
All, clover blooms and buttercups,

graceful figure in the daintiest of cam

$50 you are fond of quiet strolls1 /
am, too"
Lily drew herself up, and looked at
the presumptuous speaker.
Really, Mr.. Holaway, don't see
what it is to you"
Then she stopped. She did not mean
to be rude, but truly, she thought to
herself, it was high time she should
show this young man that his openly
expressed admiration was exceedingly
distasteful to her. 1t had been going
on for some time, and everyone, even
Lily herself, had come to see that the
sun rose and set for John Holloway
where she was.
''He must be intensely stupid not to
know how utterly indifferent l am to
him." she thought.
But John was no. stupid. He under
stood the unfinished sentences, and as he
dr.w back without another word to let
her pass, Lily saw that he did, and a
shame faced, compunctious look stole
into her eyes. For, from the richest to
the poorest, everyone acknowledged
John Hollaway's noble sterling charac-
ter.
Lily walked slowly along the road,
half determined to turn back and apollo
gize for her rudeness, until a turn
brought her face to face with someone
whose handsome eyes met her own with
nc glad welcome that all other
thoughts were for the time driven COM
pletcly away.
1t was Richard Blake, the most ad-
mired and courted young man in the
village.

The bitterness in his tone touched

Under this head the Reed CITY
Clarion discourses az follows, which We
fully commend TO the attention Of
our readers: If any per on will call on
his grocer and buy peck, or bushel
or barrel of black walnuts, which will
cost about one dollar per bushel. and
will place them in box of damp,
rich sand in the fall, exposed to the
frost during the winter, and will plant
them in the spring in rich black
soil, he will raise black walnut trees
This timber is Indigenous to this
country from the Lakes to Louisiana,
and is by far the most valuable for
timber Of any of the woods of the
United States. 1t is rapid grower
of fine form and appearance, Is rot
infested with bugs, and after ten years
will raise valuable crop Of walnu,s
every year. 1t seems like great folly
to neglect this noble timber and set
out locusts, Lombardy poplars and
horse chestnuts along our highways
and water.courses which are worthless
for timber, short lived and full Of
vermin, when walnuts and butternuts
may be raised equally as cheap,
or cheaper. The walnut tree is
more beautiful than any of the others
named. 1t has large, clean leaf, of
rich, healthy green, the body is
shapely and the limbs are symmet-
rical and gracefully formed. WAL
nut will grow in any soil IN Michigan.

bitches and brooks, and is bes, in
